Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Update to the story about the new variant from Africa as FoxNews warned us about yesterday. South African doctor says omicron variant symptoms ‘unusual but mild’ "So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough." OMG, not a slight...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

Lol! Looking forward to the cries of "racism" I'm not big on organized conspiracy theories. But I do believe there are a significant number of powerful people in the world who experience orgasms from being able to control the behavior of others and they don't really need to get together to decide h...

Arbery case

🚧 { split off the Kyle Rittenhouse thread \DS } I see that the Ahmaud Arbery trial ended up with a conviction on all counts for all three men who will probably be spending the rest of their lives in prison or at least the better part of it. I have not follwed this case closely so I'm not going to se...

One bright spot: I just passed my mutual funds licensing exam. Pretty damn impressive doing that while dealing with the death of your father and contemplating suicide.

It does reduce confusion with the church labeled "Catholic", but I'm against it and would call it an error, whether translation or otherwise. I always say "catholic" when reciting the Creed myself. In fact when we say the Athanasian Creed, annually on Trinity Sunday, we DO say "catholic" in that on...

But back on topic, could race relations in America get any worse than they are right now? I suppose they could get worse, because the left actually believes that white people, especially males, are deplorable. They've made that very clear every day for several years.

Re: Figuring Out Religion

I went to a Lutheran church for a while and I remember that creed with the "holy Catholic chuch part". Sounded strange to me too but I think I heard it in other protestant churches along the way. I think it is supposed to mean the one true universal church. A lot of churches make that claim so take ...

Maybe he thinks worrying about what's helpful and what isn't will only lead to mollycoddling, and the most productive thing is to call it like he sees it.

By our estimates, the S&P 500 is likely to lag Treasury bonds by about 8% annually over the coming decade – the largest gap in history, and slightly worse than the outcomes after 1929 and 2000. Pretty amazing prediction even though I think such predictions aren't even worth the bits they are record...
